"There's no need to consider them." Ye Zhongming's response was firm, and upon seeing the shock on the faces of Elder An and the others, he continued, "During the construction period of the city wall, mutated lifeforms will not attack. At the very least, there will definitely not be large-scale attacks."
The people of Black Dragon City looked at each other, unsure of how to decide at this moment.
They did not dare to question Ye Zhongming; after all, he was the top figure in the national district and wouldn’t speak carelessly. Since he said so, there must be a reason behind it. However, they couldn't grasp the specifics and felt uncertain, as this was no small matter.
"Mr. Ye, even with Cloud Summit's help, constructing the city wall is no small project. It involves everyone in our entire city, and we cannot just stake our future on the unknown," Elder An said rationally, not yielding just because it was Ye Zhongming making the request, but rather expressing his thoughts as clearly as possible.
It couldn’t be denied that building the wall was very much in the interests of the evolvers in Black Dragon City. However, how it would be built, how long it would take, and many other related matters were not something that could be decided just because Ye Zhongming said so.
Ye Zhongming’s sudden proposal upon his return was indeed very 'suspect.'
They feared the power of Ye Zhongming and Cloud Summit Villa, but if it truly meant their survival was in jeopardy, the people of Black Dragon City would not hesitate to fight back.
Ye Zhongming smiled, understanding their concerns.
"The reason I proposed this is first because it brings you tremendous benefits. You cannot deny this, right?"
Even though the big shots of Black Dragon City were confused about Ye Zhongming's proposal, they still had to acknowledge that having a city wall here would indeed be a great thing.
"I can guarantee that mutated lifeforms will not invade. First, I have reached an agreement with the Snow Wolf King that it will not attack Black Dragon City within the next three months. Furthermore, I will also send some Cloud Summit warriors to help defend during your construction of the wall. Secondly, apart from the Snow Wolf King, the other mutated lifeforms in Black Dragon City have lost most of their backbone and are now like a scattered sand, posing no threat to you."
As he spoke, Ye Zhongming gestured to Xiao Peng, who had been stationed in Black Dragon City. He came over, waved his hand with spatial equipment, and a large pile of corpses appeared in the open space outside.
Upon seeing this, the big shots of Black Dragon City felt a chill run down their spines.
All these corpses were of seventh-level and eighth-level existence. Not to mention the seventh-level ones, there were more than ten eighth-level ones.
Some of these were quite familiar to them, like the annoying mutated yellow weasel, the flying mutated moth, and the mutated musk ox that had previously left huge scars on Hai Dayu.
They were all the overlords of the mutated lifeforms in Black Dragon City, and now, they were all lifeless bodies on the ground.
The big shots of Black Dragon City couldn't close their mouths.
They were not particularly surprised at the death of eighth-level lifeforms; hunting such lifeforms was their main task now.
However, how did they hunt eighth-level lifeforms? They first needed to locate them, then observe and gather information from all aspects, devise a plan, and finally ambush or set traps to kill them.
Basically, from discovering an eighth-level lifeform to killing it, it would take no less than twenty days to a month.
Even now, when they occasionally worked together, the number of eighth-level lifeforms they could kill in a month was only about two or three; if they surpassed four, that would be considered a bumper harvest.
This was why, until now, Black Dragon City only had a handful of eight-star evolvers.
Not every force was like Cloud Summit, able to easily have an eighth-level existence challenge a life of the same level.
